Fantasia Names Newborn Son

It’s been officially confirmed that Fantasia did in fact welcome a son yesterday morning in Charlotte, North Carolina. Now, we’ve gotten word of the little boy’s name.

She and boyfriend, Antwaun Cook have named their son Dallas Xavier. According to PEOPLE, her son’s last name was reported as Barrino (her own) and not his father’s, Cook. This may have been done on purpose to avoid media scrutiny she’s faced in the past about her alleged affair with Mr. Cook.

In a statement to PEOPLE, Fantasia says,

“I feel so blessed that my son Dallas Xavier was born healthy, and is a wonderful new addition to our family. I thank all my fans for their well wishes and continued support.”

Dallas was born Tuesday in North Carolina at 7 lbs., 9 oz. and 21 inches long.
